Students Express Viet-War Feelings
Editorial Note—The following is the text of a let-ter
submitted to President Lyndon B. Johnson by
100 student leaders from American colleges and
universities.
In your talk to the student interns last summer,
as on other occasions you have recognized and dis-cussed
problems that have been troubling members
of our generation. We have been grateful for your
concern and encouraged by your invitation to express
some of our thoughts.
Since many of 'these center increasingly on the
situation in Vietnam, the New Year's renewal of the
truce seems a suitable occasion to report to you that
significant and growing numbers of our contempor-aries
are deeply troubled about the posture of their
Government in Vietnam. We believe the state of mind
of these people, though unreported, is of great im-portance
because there are many who are deeply
troubled for every one who has been outspoken in
dissent.
A great many of those faced with the prospect
of military duty find it hard to square performance
of that duty with concepts of personal integrity
and conscience. Even more are torn by reluctance
to participate in a war whose toll in property and
life keeps escalating, but about whose purpose and
value to the United States they remain unclear.
The truces have highlighted a growing conviction
on American campuses that if our objective in the
fighting in Vietnam is a negotiated settlement rather
than a military "victory", continued escalation can-not
be justified by the failure of the other side to
negotiate.
If, on the other hand, our objective is no longer
a negotiated settlement, the nature and attainability
of our objectives in Vietnam raise serious new doubts.
There is thus increasing confusion about both our
basic purpose and our tactics, and there is increasing
fear that the course now being pursued may lead
us irrevocably into a major land war in Asia—a
war which many feel could not be won without
recourse to nuclear weapons, if then.
In this context there is widespread support for
the suggestion of the Pope and others that the
resumed truce be extended de facto by restraint
on both sides, even if no formal agreement is
reached. And there is hope that if fighting must
be resumed in 1967 it will be resumed on a reduced
scale.
In short, Mr. President, a great many of our con-temporaries
raised in the democratic tradition of
thinking for themselves, are finding a growing con-flict
between their own observations on one hand,

Royal Players Schedule
Midwestern DramaTour
The largest group of actors and
the most sizeable repertory yet
used will go with the Bethel Royal
Players when they travel through
the Iowa-Nebraska area just before
school reopens for the February-
June study season. The tour runs
from Wednesday, February 1 to
Sunday, February 5, with the ex-tensive
travels fitted in between
opening and closing performances
in the Twin Cities area.
Director Dale Rott will pack ten
actors plus technical materials for
four different programs into the
Royal Players van as he begins the
trip. Included among the non-tech-nical
journeyers are Dale Cope,
Dave Stagg, Darryl Berg, Lynn
Hansen, Gloria Netterlund, Gail
Mitchell, Debbie Coyle, Arlene Nel-son,
and Mary Ruetten.
The first scheduled tour per-formance,
a showing of Director
Rott's own "Church Militant," is
not definitely scheduled as yet)
but will be given locally. Thus,
travelling will not begin until
Thursday, when the troupe will
make its way to Forest City,
Iowa, where they will perform
Albert Johnson's "Conquest in
Burma."
The major feature of the week-end
is the Royal Players' partici-pation
in the Platte Valley Youth

The concert will consist of selec-tions
from Beethoven, Bach Schu-bert,
several short numbers from
Chopin as well as features from
two modern composers.
Miss Knardahl was born in Nor-way,
